About

I'm a solution architect and developer with over 20 years in business intelligence, data warehousing, and analytics. I care about systems that are clear, durable, and actually used.

My career has moved from large consulting and system-integration projects at Accenture, through specialist BI architecture work at Visma bWise, into founding and running Tallmaker AS. The common thread has been source analysis, data integration, warehouse architecture, and building analysis surfaces that business users can rely on.

My work currently splits between client delivery for a wealth advisory business — Qlik Cloud analytics, TimeXtender data warehouse architecture, and cloud migration — and product development around AI-assisted learning, documentation, and software delivery workflows.

Over the past three to four years I have spent a substantial amount of time researching and testing AI-powered tools and workflows. Part of that is practical experimentation with coding agents and natural-language-driven development; part of it is trying to understand what more automatic work could mean for my industry.

What interests me most is not just faster coding, but how these tools may change the way analytics platforms and self-service BI are designed, built, and evolved. There is clear potential for more agile delivery, shorter feedback loops, and more direct movement from business need to working solution, but only if the workflows around the tools are good enough.

I'm drawn to the intersection of structured data and intelligent tooling: making information accessible, automating the repetitive parts, and building things that people actually want to use. The technology should serve the problem, not the other way around.

Outside of work I have a long-running interest in computing history — particularly the Amiga era and retrocomputing. There's something instructive about understanding how constrained systems were made to do remarkable things.
